The gallbladder (and it's cruel attacks) is out. The surgery went great. I loved the anesthesia during the procedure (since I wasn't awake & would never want to be) but hated the feeling when I was coming out of it. My eyes wouldn't open, and I had no control of my body. It was all very strange. I've done a lot of sleeping, laying around, hobbling like a hunchback and eating ice cream (since I no longer fear an attack) the past few days. I'm sore and stiff and a little queasy from my 4 gunshot-looking wounds, but I'm surviving and on the mend. There's nothing like looking 5 months pregnant without the joy of a growing fetus!...
The doctor ordered no carrying kids around. That's been a nice break.The doctor ordered no housework. That's been an even better break.
So I think what the doctor really ordered was Grandma and Grandpa.
They've been angels to have in town. They've played with the boys, cleaned house, planted us a garden and brought in meals.
[This is the BIG garden that the boys dug, tilled, and planted]
[This is the little garden that my mom brought along that just hangs and grows with minimal watering...just my kind!]
Now if the doctor could just order them to stay forever I think I could find a cure for all suffering in this household.

I am so happy you are doing well and I am even happier (and a little jealous) your parents are taking such good care of you.
So glad to hear it went well! I dont know what we would do without amazing parents! Enjoy the downtime even if you are in pain, as a mom, those down time moments are few and far between!
Glad it went well and that your parents are taking good care of everyone and everything. Hang in there! And I want one of those hanging gardens! Cool!
